Former world champion in two weight divisions, now working as a TV expert Tim Bradley, believes that the king of lightweight Devin Haney (28-0, 15 KOs), IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO world champion, will be a favorite in almost all fights against representatives of a very strong division group within 135 pounds (61.2 kg).
“Some say that I was prejudiced against George Kambosos and praised Haney too much in their recent fight. But Haney dominated and did a lot of great things, Kambosos had his moments, but they were few. It was a one sided fight. Fisticuffs is a beautiful thing. In this sport, 90 percent is a matter of mentality. Haney has shown that he is perhaps the strongest lightweight,” said Bradley.
“Haney can beat both Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia and Vasily Lomachenko. People are haunted by the power of Haney's punch. They say he hits too weak. But he is tactically and physically strong and has good defense. Gervonta Davis can knock him out, but I would bet on Haney in their fight. He is "slippery", I bet on him in the fight with Lomachenko. Vasily is getting older, and Haney is best at dealing with strong opponents. The better the opponent, the better Devin will box. However, in a possible confrontation between Devin and Shakur Stevenson, the chances are distributed more or less equally. Ryan Garcia? He doesn't have a great left straight, so I don't know how he would handle Haney," added Timothy Bradley.
